Photo reading runs in your browser. Your image is not uploaded to Mexitara. The scanner downloads its reading tools when first used; it may take a moment.

Take a photo or choose one from your gallery. Reading starts automatically. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 12 MB. If an iPhone photo is HEIC, choose a screenshot instead.

Read or paste receipt text · English explanations

Local phrase glossary. Original text is kept below. Unrecognized names and OCR errors remain unchanged; review every line.

Suggestions are not verified. Confirm currency and every amount below before calculating. Item names and prices need manual review.

Confirm the bill

Manual rate. No rate has been fetched.

All bill amounts use the selected receipt currency. If tax is already included in the subtotal, enter 0 for separately listed tax. This tool does not decide whether a tax or charge is legally required. Use the latest available daily reference rate or enter your own rate. This is an estimate; card, cash-exchange and merchant rates and fees can differ.

Check individual items or split by what each person ordered

Enter the unit price and quantity. Select the guests sharing each item. Shared tax, charges, discounts and tip are allocated in proportion to item spending. For an item split, the item total must match your entered subtotal.

Works for restaurants and other purchases. Start a new bill to check another receipt. Calculations use only what you enter and confirm.
